Intro C D (x2)
Verse 1
G Cadd9 D
Everything is open, nothing is set in stone,
Rivers turn to oceans, oceans tide you home
Home is where the heart is, but your heart had to roam
Drifting over bridges never to return
D*
Watching bridges burn
Chorus
G D Cadd9
You driftwood, floating on the water
C
Breaking into pieces, pieces, pieces
Just driftwood, floating with no use,
Waterfalls that find you, bind you, grind you
Verse 2
Nobody is an island, everyone has to go
Rivers turn to butter, butterfly and low
Low is where your heart is, but your heart has to grow
Drifting under bridges, never with the flow
Middle 8
C D
And you really didn't think it would happen
C D
But it really is the end of the light
G D C
So I'm sorry that you turned to driftwood
Cadd9 G
That you've been drifting for a long long time
Break C D
Verse 3
Everywhere there's trouble, nowhere safe to go
Pushes turn to shovels, shovelling the snow
Frozen you have chosen, the path you wish to go
Drifting now forever and forever more
Till you reach your shore
Chorus
Middle 8
Cadd9 G
Drifting for a long long time
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official TRAVIS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
